Thousands of households in the United States have their VA Disability check as their main source of income. For that reason, knowing the day on which each of these payments arrives can be a great advantage when it comes to organizing purchases, knowing the day on which we can pay the bills and taking all the expenses into account.
So, in a very short time, in just a week, we will be able to enjoy one of the new VA Disability payments, as the payment schedule for the month of February has already been announced. In this case, we have a small irregularity, since it would normally be on March 1st that these checks would be sent, but they will be sent earlier.
The truth is that if we take into account that VA Disability checks are sent on the 1st of each month, we find that there is an irregularity in the calendar for these first months of the year. There is nothing to worry about, as it is possible to get the payment as usual.
VA Disability payment in February 2025
Payments of this benefit, as we have already mentioned, should be sent on March 1st, but as March 1st is a weekend the Administration sends this check to the beneficiaries earlier. Thus, the 28th of the month will be the day of shipment, so that those who have Direct Deposit activated will enjoy this check before shipment.
In addition to that, it is possible to get another extra payment on the same day. If we are eligible for another benefit, we can receive an extra payment on February 28th. But this is not available to all Americans, only to a specific group that meets all the conditions determined by the Social Security Administration.
Extra payment for VA Disability on February 28th
In order to get this extra payment from Social Security on February 28th, we have to meet two requirements: be 65 years of age or older or have a disability, as well as having low monthly income and few resources. Only by meeting these conditions will we be able to get the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) every month.
This check is compatible with both VA Disability and other regular benefits. Therefore, we can combine SSI with retirement checks and other payments such as Social Security retirement or SSDI itself.
The maximum SSI payment in 2025 is $967. However, not all Americans can receive this maximum payment. In order to get a good monthly check from this benefit, we must have a low monthly income. The lower the income, the bigger the SSI check.
